Abstract
Phagocytes engulf pathogens into a membrane bound compartment called a phagosome, but what happens when engulfed pathogens start growing? In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe,Westman et al. (2020) show that lysosomes fuse with phagosomes to maintain phagosomal membrane integrity as the fungal pathogen Candida albicans expands.
